Body Mechanics Animation PT.2

 

This week we learned how to apply and animate with object constraints. We were given some exercises to try using the constraints.

 

For this exercise we learnt how to add object constraints, we animated the ball being thrown up in the air. To create momentum I added a bit of squash and stretch to the ball.

 

 

We animated the character Snow lifting a heavy object (sphere) and used online weight lifting videos as references. I animated him stumbling backwards to show the struggle of carrying the weight.

 

Animated Head Turn – Toon Boom

 

 

On Toon Boom we had to create a head turn based on the character ref sheet provided above. I feel I followed the design closely in my animation, I had a lot of fun drawing with the polyline tool.
